Looks great!

How do you like fnott? I assume you switched to it from mako — what made you switch? What are the pros and cons?

    Mako better than fnott in:

    • better in handling images (thumbnails) than fnott because fnott lags if there's many notifications with high resolution thumbnails that are displayed at once.
    • It has more anchor positions. you cannot have center-right or top-center anchors in Fnott. Fnott has only 5 anchor positions while Mako has 9.
    • You can restore previous expired notifications with makoctl restore command while fnottctl doesn't has it.

    Fnott is better than mako in:

    • You have dynamic width so every notification has it is own width instead of all of them have the same width which is the main reason why I use Fnott.
    • Easier to config.

    The dynamic width thing is huge… so many notifications spend their precious initial width on boilerplate bs, I’ll give it a shot…

    tho tbh all I really need is a full screen, undismissable thing for when my battery is dying.. other notifications are very lovely but the number of times I’ve only realized I was low on battery when my computer starts shutting down is… a lot.
